Mind Games

You self-centered son of a bitch,

With your narcissistic traits,

You twist the truth to suit yourself,

Then smile while someone breaks.

You narcissistic son of a bitch,

With evil underneath,

You dress your lies in pretty words

And hide behind deceit.

You like to play your mind games

Just to get your way,

You change the rules, rewrite the truth,

Then swear I’m the one to blame.

You push until I’m questioning

The things I know I’ve seen,

But I’m not fucking crazy

I know exactly what you mean.

You look me in the eyes and lie

When you know I know the truth,

Then hand me one more bullshit story

Like I need some kind of proof.

You say, “We can’t fix the past,”

Like that wipes the slate away,

But the past keeps showing up again

In everything you do today.

You want forgiveness without changing,

You want trust you haven’t earned,

You want me standing in the ashes

While you watch another bridge burn.

You keep one foot inside the door,

The other ready to leave,

Then wonder why I stopped believing

Every promise that you breathe.

I loved you through your darkest sides,

Through every twisted game,

But love was never meant to mean

I have to take the blame.

So play your games with someone else,

Go twist another mind.

I spent too long believing you

While leaving me behind.

You self-centered son of a bitch,

Here’s one truth you can’t rewrite:

You didn’t break me with your lies

You just taught me how to fight.
